JAKARTA – The Indonesian 7×7 football national team (FA7) managed to make history in the IFA 7 World Championship 2026 international event. The Garuda squad reached the semifinals and is ready to face the test from Brazil.
The President of FA7 Indonesia, Raden Bambang Pramukantoro, admitted that he was very happy with the hard work of all parties so that the Garuda squad could make history as the first Indonesian 7×7 football team to be able to reach the top four of the world tournament.
“I am proud and grateful to all the players, coaches, officials, sponsors, and the people of Indonesia who continue to provide full support during the team’s struggle in Honduras,” said Bambang in a statement received.
This extraordinary achievement recorded in Honduras is proof that Indonesia is no longer just a participant but has emerged as a new force to reckon with in the world of 7×7 football.
Throughout the tournament, the Garuda squad appeared full of enthusiasm and showed a steel mentality when facing tough opponents from various countries. Indonesia played with solid teamwork and uncompromising fighting spirit. The hard work finally bore fruit for the semi-final ticket team.
Bambang said that this achievement is a great history for Indonesia. In addition, he said, this achievement also shows the international community that Indonesia can speak a lot on an important stage.
“The achievement of reaching the semifinals is already a gold record for Indonesian sports. All elements of the team have worked hard and shown that Indonesia is capable of competing at the world level,” he said.
However, the semifinal match will not be easy for Indonesia. This is because Brazil is one of the great forces of the sport of football who have already experienced various prestigious achievements in the big event.
The clash between the Garuda squad and Brazil will take place at the Estadio De La Villa Olimpica Stadium, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central America, on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 10.00 WIB or Saturday evening Honduras time.
